Young, Happy & Free! The Nail It Slumber Party

Having my nails done is one of the ways I pamper myself after days of tiring work. I visit nail salons at least once or twice a month to get some mani-pedi not only to relax, but also to make myself look and feel beautiful. I'm sure you guys agree that beautiful colored nails are one great fashion accessory, right?

So when I got an invite an invite to witness the opening of one of the top Nail Salon in the country, I got excited and curious at the same time. First, I've been wanting to attend a Nail it event and when I was invited to be part of their opening of their latest branch at Alphaland, I felt so honored and proud. However it was quite a wonder on how an opening can be celebrated with a slumber party. Funny how attendees were required to come in their sleeping attire -- which raised my excitement and curiosity even more.

And Saturday (Sept 29) came, after all that excitement that I felt, I came to the opening NOT in my sleeping attire. Why? Because I came from an event and because we (Nika and I) were running late to the opening, we ran to the Alphaland branch in our full outfit! And because didn't follow rules, we were charged P50 for disobedience. Haha!

Since I was late, I wasn't able to witness the blessing and was not able to grab all the delicious (and cute) food served during the event. There were cupcakes and all sorts of yummy pastries that I regret not being able to taste and capture -- which is another consequence of being late. Haha. And if you're wondering if I felt little out of place, I DID! Haha can you see how the girls looked so comfortable in their pajamas? I envied them that night. They all looked so cute.

Nika and I on our event outfit. I'm the one to blame cause I (1) the traffic from Ortigas to Alphaland was terrible and (2) got a little lost on our way there. Sorry Nika!

Yay I won some stamps!

The slumber party was soo fun. The night was packed with games like Human Bingo (where I was one of the winners), Bring Me and "Do You Love Me Game (that I still haven't figured out until now! Haha). I have never seen girls be so competitive! You can just imagine how everyone would scream, run, jump and do all sorts just to win! It was a wonderful sight, especially for someone who's a little old. It made me feel so young, playful and happy.

Resident bloggers even shared their stories and experiences on how its like to be a Nail it blogger. (which actually made me wish to be one of them). Cool how they not only receive perks but also help Nail It in terms of PR and marketing. and what's more awesome is they treat each other as family. So cute. :)

With Angel and Wonderwoman

With Bella, who was there as a videographer! (So nice to see her in action! Haha) and Anne

With Christina Decena and Bea Benedicto. So nice to finally meet them personally :)

And with the always super bait Tracy Ayson and Melai Etuna. :)

The event was all in all fun! It was all about bonding with friends, and meeting new kinds of people, young and happy people. Looking forward to more events like this (cause I always want to feel young) :P

And because I was competitive, I got 5 points so I got a free traditional manicure or pedicure! Haha :)
Super thank you Ms. Jariss for the invite! :) Had fun!
